Our Journey For Jon-Michael
- Johnnie
- Follow us as we drive from Louisiana to Michigan to adopt our second child. We have a beautiful 6-year old daughter, Katelyn and she's looking forward to being a big sister. We’ve thought about adopting another child for several years and finally made the decision to about eight months ago. Katelyn brings us so much joy and we all were ready for an addition to our family. We were listed with an adoption agency and patiently waited for a call to let us know that we had been chosen. It wasn’t long before a birthmother in Michigan chose us to take care of her baby once it was born. We’ve already been to Michigan once and met her and we talk regularly to keep up with her progress. We know it’s going to be a boy, so we picked out the name Jon-Michael Reid for him. The “Jon” is for his Paw-paw and Uncle Johnnie, the Michael is for his daddy and his Ma-maw (her middle name) and Reid is for his Uncle Reid. It seems like the time has gone by so slow since we found out the great news, but it’s almost here! He’s supposed to be born around the first of June and we’ll be there and waiting! Follow our blog to keep up with the latest updates from Michigan with our new addition to the family!
Congratulations. We can highly recommend big boy babies - they've worked out well for us. I know you know you are blessed, but he's a lucky kid too to land in a home and family like yours.

Congratulations! We are so happy for you.. My daughter, Jori, goes to school with Katelyn at BGS.. She was very tickled to hear that Katelyn had a new brother. May God bless you all.
